Let the Games Begin! Eagles captain Mikel Obi Ready for New Season

There’s no better time to return to football action again than when you have a date in a few weeks, against one of the most lethal strikers in the world and Nigeria captain Mikel Obi is all but ready for that challenge and more.

Mikel, who returns with Tianjin Teda for the new Chinese Super League season, is eager to jump back onto the pitch as the season resumes this weekend in that patch of the Orient.

The 30-year-old shared his team’s CSL fixture update on his IG on Thursday and expressed how keenly he anticipates the kick-off.

“Two days before the first game of the season. Preseason done, let the games begin ⚽️?? #TEDA #TianjinTeda #ChineseSuperLeague #2018”
